Answer

Some services provided by a server on a network are:

  1. Equipment/Resource Sharing — High quality printers and photocopiers are often designed to connect directly to a network and all authorised users can share the equipment. A server is responsible for such a resource sharing request.
  2. Centralised File Saving for Data Sharing — Servers help the user save files to their home directories on the file server, workers can load their documents on any networked computer.
  3. Centralised Virus Scanning — Most file servers run virus scanners constantly to detect and take care of viruses introduced by any user on any computer.
  4. Centralised Backups — High-capacity tape devices in the file server back up all users' work, usually every night. In case of system failure (or worker failure), lost work can be recovered quickly and easily.
